The alleged offense was committed some days A FRIGHTFUL EXPERIENCE. Narrow Escape of Mr. David Blalodc, Wile and Daughter from Instant Death. Saturday evening between five and six o'clock, while on their way home, Mr. and Mrs.

David Blalock and their daughter, Miss Ella, aged 20, met with a frightful experience aud narrow escape from death, about five miles southeast of Decatur, within a mile and a halt of the Blalock farm. They were seated in a light spring wagon, which was drawn by two rapid- going horses. Mr. Blalock, who is past 60, was driving. When in front of Mr.

John Miller's barn a pig ran out from the weeds to cross the road, and the moving porker so frightened the team that they shied with a quick plunge sideways, and Mr. Blalock -was thrown bead foremost from the wagon into the corner of a rail fence, narrowly missing a log which was struck by the wheels of the wagon. The lines hung trailing in the dost, and team tore ahead at break-neck speed, going down an incline between several large trees and turning south a quarter of a mile distant opposite the farm house of Mr. Thomas Price. As the turn was made Mrs.

Blalock and her daughter, who were clasped in each other's arms, were thrown out of the wagon a distance of 15 or 20 feet, into a ditch. The whirl caused the tongue to be torn from the wagon and the team went wildly onward and ran into the Blalock barnyard. Mrs. Blalook was seriously bruised about the face and hips, and her daughter's limbs were sprained, but no fractures resulted. Members of the Price family came to the rescue and Mrs.

B. was taken indoors. Miss Ella, however, who was hardly able to move, managed to walk back to the point where her father was thrown out and on reaching his side she became so weak that she sank to the ground unable to stand. Mr. Blalock was still lying where he fell, and was apparently dead.

Mrs. Miller and Mrs. Bell were the first to reach the scene of the accident, and soon Mr. Price and Mr. Miller came up.

It was discovered that Mr. Blalock was still alive, and at once a rude stretcher was improvised on which the injured man was borne in an insensible condition to Mr. Price's home, to which the daughter was also taken in Mrs. Bell's buggy. Dr.

Booth, of Mt Zion, was summoned to attend the injured people. He made an examination of Mr. B. and found that he had received a deep cut on his forehead from which a great quantity of blood had flown, and that his breast was bruised by the fall. Ho applied what remedies he could at the time, and also attended the ladies.

Mr. Blalock did consciousness until Sunday morning, when he conversed a short time with Mr. Price. He supposed he was at his home, but at once realized that something terrible had happened. Sunday a BEPUBMOAN reporter visited the Price home and found Mr.

Blalock sleeping quietly. The doctor had visited him and left ciders that he be not disturbed. Tt is tlio opinion of Dr. Booth that none of Mr. B's ribs are fractured though the strain on them was very great.

He believes his patient will recover from the effects ot the shock in due time, unless he received internal injuries that have not yet developed. Mrs. Blalock was unable to walk and could only be moved about in a chair, while Miss Ella felt like she had been thrown bodily against a fence. Miss Ella says that'after her father was thrown out she wanted to jump from the bounding wagon at the rear, and suggested this course to her mother, but she objected, and before they could form some other plan of escape from their perilous position, both found themselves lying in the ditch, with the detached wagon but slightly damaged a few feet from them, and the team out of eight. There was a lot of glassware in the wagon that the family hod purchased while in Decatur, and pieces of the dozen goblets and a pitcher were found scatteied along the road to the Price corner.

But one whole piece was left out of the tot, a goblet that had lodged in the grass at the roadside. Mr. Blalock is one of the oldest and most successful farmers in Macon county. He owns 1,000 acres of land, most of which is in Mt Zion township. THE Mt Pulaski mill, which cost 000, will be disposed of.
